I'd be more worried about the Ospreys falling out of the sky.

No moreso than the CH-46s they're being purchased to replace. Both are very complicated pieces of aviatin' machinery; it's just that one can go a LOT faster than the other one.
CH-53s had their teething troubles, as did every other helo of this generation. Make that "every other aircraft"; there are few examples of advanced aircraft which haven't killed flight crews during their workups to operational status. For a while after being introduced, the AH-64 was the most accident-prone aircraft in the Army inventory - it could do so much the pilots got into task overload, lost situational awareness, and (usually) crashed into trees.
I've talked to Osprey crew and while they're maintenance intensive (what egg-beater isn't?) the crew I talked to professed to love them for their capabilities. Can't ask for any more than that.
They were watching all of us on 465 around 38th street Thursday afternoon while I was driving home from work.
Looked to be lining up to land at the airport, I suppose to download all the "secret" information they has collected.

You could also always spot the CH-47 crew chief from the other end of the flight line. He was the one with an adjustable wrench sticking out of one pocket, a oily rag in another and his flight suit looked like somebody hung him on a piece of safety wire and dipped him in a drum of 5606!

I saw those yesterday as I was driving in to work. They made a loop NW of Eagle Creek then headed south toward the airport over the west side of Indy. Pretty cool to watch.
It's worse than that. They flew over the Payless Liquors, Subway AND Jo-Ann fabrics in Greenbriar today. WHILE we were on our way to take our oldest to a CHRISTIAN camp.
AND I was driving a Chevy with American Tourister luggage onboard.

Guess nobody seen the black ops helicopter with the side mounted camera set up for facial recognition flying around today.
No, but I was talking to a buddy yesterday and he told me he saw two "black" Black Hawks hovering over Southport High School not too long ago.
BTW, if you happen to see Black Hawks that are gloss black with gold trim, those are Customs birds.

But I bet the flyover at the race was just a diversionary tactic used to spy on INGO'ers.

I saw 2 Chinook's and 2 Blackhawks on Saturday. Of course I happened to be at Camp Atterbury shooting at the time.

I think you need to re-evaluate the above, they are watching via those choppers. Bet that nice little addition to the side there is a high resolution camera linked to so pretty bad a** facial recognition software.
This isn't some photo dragged off the internet either, I took it yesterday
sitting in the North Vista. It was circling the track most of the day.

I have interesting story about black helicopters. I know a guy who was a mechanic in the Air Force and worked on Helicopters. I asked him about the black ones once--if they were real or not. He told me that when he was at Edwards they had just finished working on some choppers and his CO came to move them on to the next assignment. In the distance he saw several black helicopters on the ground. He asked the CO if they were going to be working on them too and the CO answered, "Son, you can't work on what doesn't exist." My friend didn't ask any more questions after that.
